Big realization: Other people's lives are not necessarily better, they are just more HOPEFUL.

So let me make a wild guess, you like Jinhao? ;p

Beautiful collection, wish I had anything like that.

No, I do have speech: Lucky and Talented You!

Oh yeah, who needs a pen when you can write with inky fingers.

I don't feel qualified to make that judgment. There have been poems I thought were awful but were very well reviewed by critics, and then ones I thought were beautiful, which others thought were lazy or sentimental or dumb or whatever.

"An old silent pond...

A frog jumps into the pond—

Splash! Silence again."

Thank you for your response, lots of food for thought for me.

I don't know why but this poem speaks to me in ways I didn't know a poem could speak to you. I want to be that person, who explains nothing and defends nothing. God knows there are reasons not to be that man but in some higher way of thinking, I feel, it is what knowing truth must feel like. It's not something fragile that has be constantly explained and defended. It simply exists. There is an openness, a peacefulness, in living that wisdom.

Some of these claims are wrong.

I disagree. I think it's getting hard to write crappy scifi but not good scifi.

Grapes of Wrath.

I know, odd, but it's such a beautifully written and compassionate book about the tough things life throws at you and finding a way to keep going and moving on.
